HOST CLUB IDENTITY

The Potters

bet365 Stadium is central to Stoke City’s matchday identity: a club founded in 1863 and known to its supporters as The Potters. The atmosphere around Boothen End and Franklyn Stand helps shape that experience, while League Cup winners (1972) and Football League Trophy winners (1992 and 2000) underline the depth of its footballing history.
